Had the 308 hatch in Majorca for a week, from Europcar if I remember correctly
It was petrol and DSG – so I assume the same engine. Proper little pocket rocket with that gearbox, very very smooth and quiet at the same time
I remember hating the touch screen – you have to use it even for heating. Bonkers. The armrest was naff too. But nice little car we all thought it looked really cool.
Getting back into my focus though you notice just a fairly significant bump in ‘sturdiness’ etc, and nice/safer having proper buttons.
